Boreal is the magical musical collaboration of Tannis Slimmon, Katherine
Wheatley and Angie Nussey. These three hard working
singer-songwriters, each with their own longstanding, award winning careers,
simply love playing music together. In the winter, Boreal shines their
collective light on Canada’s coldest months with their show “Songs for the Snowy
Season”. The trio’s spell binding harmonies combined vocal prowess and
tour-de-force songwriting make for a powerful musical event. With humour,
storytelling and heart melting honesty, Boreal takes their audience on a
journey of friendship, laughter and connection.
Boreal’s brand new album Winterbirds is now available digitally and on CD. This is their first full recording with Angie, who’s songs “Shepherd
of The Road”, “Snowball Fight of ‘92” and “Warm Hands”, bring a robust dose of
first-hand winter experience.
Boreal began in 2006, when singer-songwriters Katherine Wheatley,
Tannis Slimmon, and Jude Vadala gathered around Jude’s kitchen table with the
idea to create a show that would kickstart the winter with excitement and joy.
In 2019, Jude Vadala lovingly retired from Boreal and was replaced by
singer/songwriter and producer Angie Nussey.

This
is a CD release concert for “Bradstreet & Keesee LIVE in London” which
was recorded at the Cuckoo’s Nest in December of 2023.
David Bradstreet is best known for his song Renaissance – an iconic Canadian hit made popular by Valdy. He has been recognized for his work as a singer/songwriter, composer and producer, many albums bearing his name; Platinum and Gold selling records; a high profile Juno Award early in his career; three subsequent Juno nominations and music credits including a Gemini nomination; film and TV soundtracks and scoring; talent discovery and producer for numerous artists including Jane Siberry, Bill Hughes, Colleen Peterson, Nancy Simmonds, Jason Fowler, Robert Priest, Mira Meikle and more. David’s London, Ontario, roots run deep as he was regularly featured at Smale’s Pace Coffeehouse, Change of Pace, and the Home County Folk Festival over the years.
For this concert, David will be joined by his longtime friend and collaborator Carl Keesee (bass). Together David and Carl along with the late Bill Hughes recorded several albums together as the group Lazarus for the prestigious American label Bearsville.
David has toured extensively for over five decades and is a veteran of major tours, coffeehouses, concert halls, house concerts and folk festivals - and has written and performed hundreds of songs. His latest album "Hindsight" (2023) features Carl Keesee, bass; Mark Kelso, drums & percussion; and Nancy Simmonds, background vocals.
"..today’s David Bradstreet is a master of his skills – the voice, deeper and more richly seasoned in all the right places – and as range-friendly as ever; his fingerstyle guitar-playing abilities simply jaw-dropping in their complexity and overall tone – both parts together creating an hypnotic aural weave of intricate, satisfying parts." - Eric Thom, ROOTS MUSIC CANADA
